Gainful Employment Programs

Effective July 1, 2011 institutions must report certain information
about students who are enrolled in Title IV eligible certificate
programs that lead to gainful employment in a recognized
occupation from this point on known as Gainful Employment (GE)
Programs. Institutions are also required to disclose to prospective
students certain information about the GE programs. Finally, these
new regulations require institutions to notify the US Secretary of
Education of all the GE programs it wishes to add to the list of Title
IV‐eligible programs.
